There is an article in the New York Times entitled Law Students Lose the Grant Game as Schools Win. It tells how law students are losing their merit scholarships after their first year, much to their surprise. As the article suggests, the solution to this problem is to disclose what percentage of merit scholarships are renewed after the first year. However, few law schools do this. Is this the best way for law schools to teach professional conduct? In my opinion, the best way to teach ethics is for the teacher and the institution to set an ethical example. Comments welcome!
